Schow Science Library, located in the Science Center, houses materials in the life sciences, physical sciences, and psychology.

Archives and Special Collections, temporarily located in Apartment 3 of the Southworth Schoolhouse, 96 School Street.  Houses materials on the history of the college and additional research collections.

Chapin Library of Rare Books, temporarily located in Apartment 3 of the Southworth Schoolhouse, 96 School Street. Houses rare books, illustrated books, incunabula, manuscripts, and original printings of American founding documents.

Note: the Matt Cole Library collections were transferred to Sawyer Library and Schow Science Library.  After relocation of the Center for Environmental Studies to its permanent home, a reading room will be created to honor the memory of Matt Cole.
